Android RatingBar Example

Let’s see the simple example of rating bar in android.

activity_main.xml

Drag the RatingBar and Button from the pallete, now the activity_main.xml file will like this:

File: activity_main.xml
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android=“http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”
    xmlns:app=“http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto”
    xmlns:tools=“http://schemas.android.com/tools”
    android:layout_width=“match_parent”
    android:layout_height=“match_parent”
    tools:context=“example.javatpoint.com.ratingbar.MainActivity”>
    <Button
        android:layout_width=“wrap_content”
        android:layout_height=“wrap_content”
        android:text=“submit”
        android:id=“@+id/button”
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf=“parent”
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf=“parent”
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf=“parent”
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf=“parent”
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias=“0.615” />
    <RatingBar
        android:id=“@+id/ratingBar”
        android:layout_width=“wrap_content”
        android:layout_height=“wrap_content”
        android:layout_marginLeft=“72dp”
        android:layout_marginTop=“60dp”
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf=“parent”
       app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf=“parent” />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Activity class

Let’s write the code to display the rating of the user.

File: MainActivity.java
package example.javatpoint.com.ratingbar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.RatingBar;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    RatingBar ratingbar;
    Button button;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        addListenerOnButtonClick();
    }
    public void addListenerOnButtonClick(){
        ratingbar=(RatingBar)findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
        button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
        //Performing action on Button Click
        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                //Getting the rating and displaying it on the toast
                String rating=String.valueOf(ratingbar.getRating());
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), rating, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }
}

Output:
